EXPLANATION   OF  TERMS   USED   IN   THE    DESCRIPTIONS 

OF  THE    DANCES 


The  Numbers  in  Parentheses  which  appear  in 
the  descriptions,  refer  to  the  measures  of  the  music 
which  are  numbered  correspondingly. 

Position  refers  to  the  position  taken  by  the 
dancers  at  the  beginning  of  the  dance  (not  at  the 
beginning  of  a  separate  figure  in  a  dance). 

Inside  Hand  is  the  one  nearest  to  one's  own 
partner;  the  other  is  called  the  outside  hand. 
The  same  explanation  applies  to  the  inside  and 
outside  foot. 

Ordinary  Dance  Grasp.  The  boy's  right  arm  is 
around  the  girl's  waist,  the  girl's  left  hand  is  on  the 
boy's  shoulder,  and  her  right  hand  is  in  his  left. 

Single  Hand  Grasp.  The  boy  stands  on  the  left 
of  his  partner  and  holds  her  left  hand  in  his  right, 
their  elbows  slightly  bent.  Outside  hands  on  hips, 
with  fingers  turned  backward. 

Double  Hand  Grasp.  Partners  stand  facing  each 
other,  the  boy  holding  the  girl's  left  hand  in  his 
right  and  her  right  in  his  left. 

Cross  Hand  Grasp.  The  boy  stands  on  the  left 
of  the  girl  and  takes  her  right  hand  in  his  right  hand 
and  her  left  in  his  left. 

High  Hand  Grasp.  The  boy  and  girl  stand 
opposite  each  other  and  join  right  (left)  hands, 
with  elbows  bent,  fingers  extended,  and  with  the 
side  of  the  little  finger  against  the  inside  of  the 
other's  thumb. 

Wormso   Hand   Grasp    (in   couples).     Boy   and 


outside  ring  bring  their  hands  over  the  heads  of  the 
others  and  down  in  front  of  them. 

Single  Arm  Grasp.  The  boy  stands  on  the  left 
of  the  girl,  and  with  his  right  hand  grasps  her  arm 
above  the  elbow.  The  girl  takes  hold  in  the  same 
manner  with  her  left  hand.  The  outside  hands  are 
not  placed  on  hips. 

Double  Arm  Grasp.  Boy  and  girl  stand  opposite 
each  other  and  grasp  each  other's  arms  above  the 
elbow. 

Arm  Hook.  Partners  hook  right  (or  left)  arms 
with  each  other  with  elbows  bent. 

Dance  Around  in  Couples.  Boy  and  girl  stand 
facing  each  other,  take  double  hand  grasp  and  swing 
each  other  with  or  against  the  sun. 

Dance  Around  Each  for  Himself.  An  individual 
dancer  makes  one  complete  turn  around  against  the 
sun,  during  which  he  takes  five  short  steps  with  the 
left  foot;  after  each  step  he  brings  the  right  foot 
up  to  the  left  until  the  fifth  step  with  the  right  foot, 
which  is  made  with  a  stamp  in  front  of  the  left.

Chain.  The  dancers  stand  in  a  ring.  Partners 
face  each  other  and  take  right  hand  grasp,  the  girls

Folding.  Couples  stand  in  a  ring.  With  four 
(or  six)  steps  the  ring  folds  together  parallel  with 
the  front.  With  the  same  number  of  steps  it 
spreads  to  a  ring.  With  four  (or  six)  steps  the  ring 
folds  at  right  angles  with  the  front  and  again  spreads 
to  a  ring. 

Figure.  Two  dancers  stand  facing  each  other 
about  four  or  six  steps  apart.  Beginning  with  the 
right  foot,  both  go  three  steps  diagonally  forward 
to  the  right,  one  step  diagonally  backward  to  the 


separate  ring  hand  in  hand.     The  dancers  of  the     left,  face  about  with  the  sun,  and  go  backward  lo

diagram)  go  past  each  other  to  the  right  and  past 
the  next  one  to  the  left,  then  face  about  to  the  right 
and  continue  in  the  same  manner  until  they  come 
back  to  their  original  places  (see  diagram).

STEPS 


"Walking,  Running,  Polka  and  Waltz  Steps  need 
no  description. 

Hop  Step.  The  left  (right)  foot  is  put  down  in 
place,  or  a  step  forward,  and  then  a  hop  is  made  on 
the  same  foot. 

Follow  Step  (or  Change  Step).  The  left  (right) 
foot  is  moved  forward,  the  right  (left)  toe  is  brought 
up  behind  the  left  (right)  heel,  and  the  left  (right) 
foot  is  moved  forward  again.  This  last  foot  placing 
takes  the  same  length  of  time  as  the  first  two  to- 
gether. 

In  "  Parikkalabon  "  two  follow  steps  (one  with 
each  foot)  are  taken  during  each  measure. 

Polka  Step.  The  left  foot  takes  a  step  forward, 
the  right  foot  is  placed  behind  the  left,  the  left  foot 
again  takes  a  step  forward  and  then  the  right  foot 
is  brought  forward.  The  same  is  danced  beginning 
with  the  right  foot. 

Schottische  Step.  The  left  foot  is  moved  for- 
ward, the  right  toe  is  brought  up  behind  the  left 
heel.  The  left  foot  is  again  moved  forward  and  a 
hop  is  made  on  it.  The  same  is  danced  beginning 
with  the  right  foot. 

Galop  Step.  One  foot  is  moved  straight  to  the 
side  and  the  other  is  brought  up  beside  it;  this  is 
done  with  a  springy  movement  and  so  quickly  that 
two  such  steps  are  taken  during  a  4  measure.  The 
step  can  also  be  taken  forward,  in  which  case  the 
same  foot  leads  all  the  time. 

Side  Step.  This  differs  from  the  galop  step  only 
in  that  it  is  done  much  more  slowly. 

Mazurka  Step.  One  ordinary  step,  two  quicker 
steps,  and  so  on. 

25615  viii 


Polka-Mazurka  Step.  This  is  described  in  con- 
nection with  "  Sjalaskuttan." 

Jig  Step.  The  right  foot  is  placed  around  behind 
the  left  foot  and  a  hop  forward  is  made  on  the  right 
foot,  while  at  the  same  time  the  left  foot  is  lifted, 
and  brought  around  behind  the  right  foot.  Then 
the  left  foot  is  put  down  behind  the  right  foot  and  a 
hop  forward  is  made  on  the  left  foot,  and  so  on. 

Three-step  Waltz.  The  left  foot  takes  one  step 
diagonally  forward  and  at  the  same  time  both  knees 
are  bent  slightly;  the  right  foot  is  brought  up  to  the 
left  foot,  the  left  foot  again  takes  one  step  forward, 
and  at  the  same  time  the  knees  are  straightened. 
The  same  step  is  danced  beginning  with  the  right 
foot. 

Treading  Step  (danced  only  by  men).  The 
dancer  takes  a  step  to  the  side  with  the  left  foot,  at 
the  same  time  turning  against  the  sun,  then  steps 
past  the  left  foot  with  his  right  foot,  again  turning 
against  the  sun. 

Fall  Out  Step.  The  dancer  takes  a  very  long 
step  forward  or  to  the  side  with  the  left  (right)  foot 
—  bending  that  knee,  but  keeping  the  right  (left) 
leg  firmly  extended  —  and  inclines  the  body  over 
the  bent  leg. 

Stride  Step.  With  a  hop  the  dancer  separates 
his  feet,  placing  them  about  two  feet  apart,  then 
with  a  hop  brings  them  together  again. 

Heel  Step.  When  a  dancer  places  one  foot  for- 
ward with  the  toe  turned  up  so  that  only  the  heel 
touches  the  ground,  this  is  called  "  heel  step." 

Foot  Changing  with  Heel  Step.  The  left  (right) 
foot  is  placed  forward  with  the  heel  on  the  ground, 


the  right  (left)  foot  takes  a  step  in  place,  and  then  both  feet  (with  the  left  foot  forward),  at  the  same 
the  left  (right)  foot  is  placed  beside  the  right  (left),  time  twisting  the  body  to  the  right,  and  raising  the 
Foot  Changing  with  Hop.  The  dancer  with  a  left  arm  with  elbow  bent  and  fist  clenched;  the 
hop  places  the  left  (right)  foot  forward  and  the  right  hand  is  held  on  the  hip.  The  same  is  re- 
right  (left)  foot  backward  at  the  same  time.  Some-  peated  with  the  right  foot  forward  and  the  body 
times  this  is  done  with  the  toe  of  the  forward  foot  twisted  to  the  left. 

turned  up  (Heel  Step).  Harvest  Step  and  Rocking  Step.     These  are  de- 
Fist  Hop.     With   a  hop   the  dancer  puts   down  scribed  in  connection  with  the  "  Harvest  Dance."

HARVEST  DANCE 


Dancers.     Six  couples. 

Steps.     Harvest  and  Rocking  Steps. 

Harvest  Step  is  executed  in  the  following  manner: 
Dancers  standing  in  couples  beside  each  other  go 
three  short  steps  forward,  beginning  with  the  out- 


side feet.  On  the  third  step  they  turn  toward  each 
other  and  drag  the  inside  feet  on  the  ground.  Then 
begin  with  the  inside  feet,  and  on  the  third  step 
turn  with  backs  toward  each  other  and  drag  the 
outside  feet. 


Harvest  Dance 

Rocking  Step  is  danced  in  this  manner:  Left 
(right)  foot  is  placed  forward  and  outward,  the  right 
(left)  is  placed  in  front  of  the  left  (right).  At  the 
same  time  one  rises  on  the  toes  and  on  the  third 
count  the  heels  sink,  then  the  right  (left)  foot  is 
placed  forward,  etc. 

Figure  i 

Position.  Couples  stand  hand  in  hand  after  each 
other,  the  joined  hands  raised;  each  boy  has  a 
scythe  on  his  left  shoulder,  each  girl  a  rake  on  her 
right  shoulder.     (See  Diagram  I.) 

(1-12)  The  dancers  go  twelve  harvest  steps  for- 
ward until  they  arrive  at  A.     (See  Diagram  II.)

Then  continue  with  the  same  step,  boys  going 

around  the  room  to  the  left,  the  girls  to  the  right, 

the  couples  thus  marching  as  indicated  in  Diagram 

III. 


(1-12)  Again  they  separate  from  each  other  and 
this  time,  when  they  meet,  the  boys  change  step 
so  as  to  start  the  "  winding  march  "  with  the  right 
foot,  and  the  dancers  still  dancing  the  "  Harvest 
Step  "  wind  in  and  out  past  each  other  as  indicated 
in  Diagram  IV,  the  leaders  beginning  by  passing 
each  other  to  the  left. 

When  they  meet  again  the  music  begins  again 
from  the  beginning. 

(1-12)   Repeat  the  winding  march. 

(1-12)  After  this  all  go  down  the  centre  in 
couples,  then  the  dancers  again  cast  off  away  from 
each  other,  go  around,  and  finish  in  two  parallel  lines 
facing  each  other,  the  boys  on  one  side  of  the  room 
and  the  girls  on  the  other  side.      (See  Diagram  V.)

Position,     Boys  stand  in  harvesting  position  with 
their  scythes,  and  the  girls  do  the  same  with  their 
rakes.

10 


A.  (13-16)  While  the  girls  stand  still,  the  boys 
go  forward  four  rocking  steps,  inclining  the  body  in 
the  opposite  direction  on  each  step  and  handling 
the  scythes  as  if  mowing.  When  the  left  foot  be- 
gins the  step  the  scythe  is  swung  from  right  to  left, 
and  the  reverse. 

(17-20)  Each  boy  places  his  scythe  on  his  left 
shoulder  and  goes  four  rocking  steps  backward, 
stepping  backward  with  one  foot  on  the  first  part 
of  each  measure  and  across  behind  with  the  other 
foot  on  the  second  part. 

(13-20)  Now  the  boys  stand  still  in  their  own 
places  while  the  girls  in  the  same  manner  go  for- 
ward and  back  four  rocking  steps,  during  which 
they  use  the  rakes. 

B.  (|:  13-20:  I)   Repeat  A. 

C.  (21-28)  The  dancers  turn  toward  the  leaders 
and,  beginning  with  the  left  feet,  go  forward,  wind- 
ing in  and  out  between  each  other  with  the  rocking 
step,  the  leaders  going  past  each  other  to  the  left. 

(21-28)  The  "  winding  march  "  continues  until 
one  has  gone  twice  through  the  other  line  and  until 
the  dancers  return  to  the  same  position  as  at  the 
beginning. 

Figure  3 

A.  (29-32)  The  girls  turn  their  backs  toward 
the  boys  who,  after  turning  to  the  right,  advance 
four  rocking  steps  to  their  partners. 

(33-34)  The  boys  peep  at  the  girls  over  their  left 
and  right  shoulders,  at  which  the  girls  turn  their 
heads  away. 

(35-36)  Then  the  boys  go  backward  to  own  places 
with  four  ordinary  steps. 

(29-36)  Repeat  the  same,  but  this  time  the  girls 
turn  their  heads  so  as  to  look  at  their  partners,  after 
which  the  boys  remain  in  the  girls'  places  and  the 
girls  go  backward  four  steps. 


B.  (1:29-36:  I)  The  same  as  Part  A,  but  this 
time  the  girls  come  forward  and  peep  over  the  boys' 
shoulders,  and  after  the  second  time  neither  one  of 
them  goes  backward,  but  instead  the  girls  wait  be- 
side the  boys  until  the  end  of  the  strain. 

Figure  4 

Music  begins  from  the  beginning. 

A.  (1-8)  The  dancers  go  around  the  room  to  the 
right  with  harvest  steps. 

B.  (9-10)  Three  couples  arrange  themselves  as 
indicated  in  Diagram  VI. 


Diagram  VI 

In  each  couple  partners  reach  their  implements 
toward  each  other  and  with  two  harvest  steps  go 
once  around  each  other  with  the  sun. 

(11-12)  Then  the  girls  of  the  three  couples  turn 
toward  the  middle,  reach  their  rakes  toward  each 
other,  and  in  the  same  manner  go  once  around 
against  the  sun.     (Diagram  VII.) 


Diagram  VII 

Now  in  the  same  manner  each  girl  goes  once 
around  with  the  sun  with  the  boy  of  the  next  couple, 
and  then  again  against  the  sun  with  the  girls. 

(5-8)  Then  the  same  with  the  third  boy  and  again 
with  the  girls. 

(9-12)   Couples  dance  out  with  the  harvest  step.

other  is  brought  up  close  behind  it,  whereupon  the 
front  leg  is  lifted  from  the  ground  and  swung  for- 
ward;  then  it  is  swung  backward  (though  not  past 


the  other  leg),  and  at  the  same  time  a  hop  forward 
is  made  on  the  back  leg. 

In  this  dance  the  step  is  always  begun  with  the 
outside  foot.

against  the  sun.  The  dance  is  repeated  again  from 
the  beginning,  all  taking  one  step  forward  first  so  as 
to  have  the  next  one  as  a  partner. 

The  dance  is  continued  thus  until  each  reaches 
his  own  partner  again,  whereupon  all  about  face, 
take  a  step  backward  and  dance  as  described  above, 
continuing  until  each  reaches  his  own  partner  again, 
when  the  dance  is  concluded.

past  each  other  to  the  right,  at  the  same  time  giving 
left  hands  to  each  as  they  go  by,  and 

(1-4)   Dance  back  in  the  same  manner. 

(I'5-8M)  Then,  beginning  with  the  left  hand, 
they  execute  the  chain  once  around  the  ring,  until 
all  come  to  original  positions. 

(|:  1-4:  |:5-8:  |)  Finish  with  all  dancing  around 
first  with  own  partner  with  the  sun,  and  then  in 
turn  with  every  approaching  girl  (or  boy),  turning 
alternately  against  and  with  the  sun.  In  this  way 
the  boys  move  around  the  ring  against  and  the 
girls  with  the  sun.  When  the  dancers  reach  their 
own  partners  again  the  dance  is  finished.

with  galop  steps  in  the  direction  of  the  arrow  (see 
Diagram  II)  to  Line  I's  place,  while  Line  I  takes 
Line  IPs  former  position.  Then  the  music  starts 
again  from  the  beginning,  and  Line  I  dances  as 
described  in  Part  A  of  Figure  i,  but  always  first

Position.  Dancers  stand  in  couples  in  ordinary 
dance  position,  behind  each  other  in  a  ring  facing 
against  the  sun.

with  the  sun  and  eight  against  the  sun,  at  the  same 
time  moving  around  the  circle  against  the  sun. 
(In  some  localities  the  waltz  is  danced  instead  of 
the  polka.) 


B.  (5-6)  After  this  the  couples  go  toward  the 
centre  of  the  ring  with  four  side  steps  (boys  begin- 
ning with  the  left  foot,  girls  with  the  right),  and 
at  each  step  the  boys  raise  their  feet  quite  high. 
(As  they  go  in  towards  the  centre  the  girls  resist, 
while  the  boys  draw  them  toward  the  centre.) 

(7-9)  Then  they  dance  back  to  places  with  seven 
quick  galop  steps. 

B.     (5-9)   Repeat  the  same.

Dancers.     Five  persons  in  every  set. 

Steps.     Stride  step. 

Position.  One  boy,  "  Daniel,"  stands  in  the 
centre,  and  four  girls  in  a  square  surrounding  him 
about  four  steps  distant  from  him.  All  stand  fac- 
ing in  the  same  direction,  with  hands  on  hips  (see 
Diagram).

(i-8)  All  dance  stride  steps  once  to  each  meas- 


ure. At  the  end  of  every  other  measure  all  fact 
to  the  left.     This  is  done  four  times. 

(9-16)  Then  all  do  the  same,  turning  to  the 
right. 

(1-16)  Now  "  Daniel  "  becomes  restless  and  be- 
gins hopping  twice  as  fast,  thus  making  four  hops 
to  each  measure;  but  the  others  follow  his  ex- 
ample, and  thus  "  Daniel  "  never  succeeds  in  see- 
ing the  girls'  faces,  as  they  continually  turn  away 
from  him. 

(1-16)  Then  this  is  repeated  again,  beginning 
in  the  original  slow  time.  "  Daniel  "  now  seems 
worn  out  and  hops  with  tottering  knees. 

This  finishes  the  dance.

(9-12)  They  go  between  the  lines  to  C. 

(13-16)  Now  they  face  about  turning  toward 
each  other,  and  return  to  B. 

(1-8)  The  boy  goes  to  the  girl  of  the  5th  couple, 
while  the  girl  goes  to  the  boy  of  the  2d,  and  they 
swing  around,  first  with  right,  then  left  arm  hook. 

(9-16)  They  go  again  between  the  rows,  and 
dance  around.  After  this  they  continue  dancing  in 
the  same  manner  with  the  next  following  girls  and 
boys  in  turn.  The  last  time  they  go  between  the 
lines,  they  take  their  place  as  the  last  couple  at  the 
foot,  and  in  each  row  all  join  hands  down  the  line. 


(1-8)  The  boy  leads  his  line  once  around  with 
the  sun  and  the  girl  at  the  same  time  leads  her  line 
once  around  against  the  sun,  so  that  they  return 
to  their  places. 

(9-16)   Repeat  B  of  Figure  i  again. 

Figure  2  is  repeated  until  it  has  been  executed  by 
the  2d,  3d,  4th  and  5th  couples. 

When  the  boy  and  girl  of  the  5th  couple  have 
led  their  line  once  around,  they  go  around  again, 
this  time  joining  hands,  and  all  marching  around 
with  the  sun  in  couples.

(9-16)  Now  they  return  to  corner  B,  dancing 
Polka  with  the  sun. 

(1-16)  The  1st  Couple  continue  after  this  to  cor- 
ners C  and  D,  and  return  to  C.  At  the  same  time 
the  2d  Couple  dance  out  from  corner  A  to  B  and  C, 
and  return  to  B. 

In  this  manner  the  3d  and  4th  Couples,  one 
after  the  other,  dance  out  until  one  couple  stand  in 
each  corner. 

The  dance  continues  from  corner  A  with  two  or 
more  couples  who  dance  after  each  other  between 
corners  A  and  B,  and  between  C  and  D. 

Between  A  and  B  the  ist  Couple  go  in  front  of 
the  2d.  Between  C  and  D  the  2d  Couple  go  in 
front  of  the  ist  Couple.  Between  B  and  C,  and 
also  between  D  and  A,  the  two  couples  go  side  by 
side  in  line  with  each  other. 

Between  B  and  C  the  ist  Couple  are  toward  the 
outside  of  the  square,  the  2d  Couple  inside;  be- 
tween D  and  A  the  ist  Couple  are  toward  the  inside 
and  the  2d  Couple  outside.  The  dance  continues 
thus  until  two,  three,  or  more  couples  stand  in  each 
corner. 

The  dance,  when  it  is  well  understood,  can  also  be 
done  with  two  or  three  couples  beginning  at  the 
same  time.
